Donate a kids’ book for Valentine’s Day

EDITOR: It’s that time of year when we think of the people we love and hold dear. As reading teachers and coordinators of Books from the Heart, our students and their love of reading are in our thoughts. Every year on or near Valentine’s Day, the Stevens Point Education Association has placed a new book in the hands of each K-2 student in the Stevens Point public and parochial schools.

Because we are a community who cares, we ask for your support for our children in this endeavor. You may send a donation to Sally Crane at J.F. Kennedy School, 616 West 2nd St., Junction City WI 54443, or you can purchase a book at Book World or Book Look and receive a 20 percent discount. If you buy a book you can sign your name on the bookplate. All donations and books will be accepted until Feb. 10.

Please give a child a very special gift this Valentine’s Day that will be enjoyed again and again! As reading teachers we always say, “One of our greatest joys is seeing the faces of our students light up when they receive a new book of their very own.”
